Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to consider a request by Tollefson

Maple Glen 3rd Addition, located south of Trunk Highway 13 (Maple Glen 2nd
Addition), north of 180th Street, and west of Wedgewood Lane.
Historv.
On April 17, 2006, the City Council approved Resolution 06-057, approving the
preliminary plat known as Maple Glen 3rd Addition. This project consists of 29
acres to be subdivided into 52 lots for single family dwellings.
Section 1002.206 (5) of the Subdivision Ordinance states the following:
Once a preliminary plat is approved by the City Council, the subdivider must
submit an application for a final plat within twelve (12) months after approval of
the preliminary plat. If an applicant fails to submit an application for a final plat
within the specified 12-month period, the preliminary plat shall be considered
void, unless a request for time extension is submitted in writing and approved
by the City Council at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the 12-month
period. Such extensions of time shall not exceed six (6) months.
On December 4, 2006, the City Council approved Resolution 06-203,
approving a six-month extension of the Final Plat deadline to October 17,
2007. The Developer explained that the request was necessary "due to the
housing market 'down turn.'"
On October 1, 2007, the City Council approved Resolution 07-171, approving
an additional six-month extension of the Final Plat deadline to April 17, 2008.
The Developer explained that the request was in response to the housing
"down turn" lasting longer than expected.
On March 17,2008, the City Council approved Resolution 08-034, approving a
third six-month extension of the Final Plat deadline to October 17, 2008. The
Developer again explained that the request was in response to the housing
"down turn" lasting longer than expected. As a condition of approval, the
developer was required to pay the outstanding administrative fees incurred by
City Staff in the amount of $17,300. These fees were paid at that time by the
developer.

On September 15, 2008 the City Council approved Resolution 08-124,
approving a fourth six-month extension of the Final Plat deadline to October
17, 2008. On March 15, 2008, the City Council approved Resolution 08-124,
approving a fifth six-month extension of the Final Plat deadline to April 17,
2009. On March 12, 2009, City Staff received the attached letter from the
developer requesting an additional six month extension. The developer has
again indicated that the request is in response to the housing 'down turn'
lasting longer than anticipated. If approved, the extended deadline would
change from April 17, 2009 to October 17, 2009.
Current Circumstances
Although the developer has received preliminary plat approval, a grading
permit has not been issued. No work has begun on this site.
ISSUES:
With the decreased demand for new construction housing, the City has
previously given conditional approvals to allow for the extension of deadlines
for submitting a Final Plat. Typically, this is done for the purpose of a short
term delay (Code allows for 6-month extensions only). However, in the case of
Maple Glen 3rd Addition, the multiple (6) extension requests have made for a
long term extension (approved April 17, 2006). These numerous extensions
are further complicated by the following new circumstances:
. Financial issues related to the Maple Glen 2nd Addition.
· Changes in storm water rules.
· Zoning Code update (will come before the Council on April 20, 2009).
It is because of the preceding circumstances that Staff would recommend that
the ultimate developer of the site submit an application for preliminary plat in
the future when the development is ready to proceed and comply with all storm
water and Zoning regulations enforce at the time.
FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
This action has no financial impact on the City.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council has three alternatives:
1. Adopt a resolution approving the request to extend the application deadline
until October 17, 2009, with any conditions the City Council deems
appropriate.
2. Continue this item for specific information or reasons per City Council
discussion.
3. Deny the request and adopt a resolution denying the requested extension.
RECOMMENDED
MOTION:
Staff recommends Alternative #3. A motion and second adopting Resolution
#09-xx denyin~ an extension of the deadline for submittal of a final plat for
M pie Glen 3r Addition.
